Facial reconstruction of a 5,400-year-old man from Kazakhstan The people of the Eneolithic Botai culture were about 80% ANE, with the remainder being East Eurasian and a small amount of WHG ancestry introduced through EHG gene flow. Populations today with high ANE ancestry include West Siberians, Native Americans, Finno-Ugric peoples, Dagestanis, Pamiris, and some Dardic and Haryanvi groups. The Botai culture emerged during the transition from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle, which involved a wide range of game, to a more sedentary way of life centered on horse meat consumption. Botai settlements consisted of semi-subterranean pit-houses and were relatively large and permanent, the type site at Botai contained over 160 dwellings. The Botai population is associated with the earliest evidence of horse domestication. Vast quantities of horse bones were found within and around Botai settlements, along with corral-like structures and thick accumulations of horse dung, indicating that the Botai people kept horses. These horses were primarily the ancestors of modern Przewalski’s horses and contributed approximately 2.7% of their ancestry to today’s domestic horse populations. Morphologically, the Botai skeletal series displays distinct and somewhat archaic features, including large overall dimensions, considerable cranial robustness, and a flattened facial skeleton in the horizontal plane combined with sharply vertical facial profiling. Some anthropologists have proposed that the Botai crania represent a steppe variant of the Ancienturalic type. The man had a medium-large cranial length of 184 mm, a small cranial breadth of 136 mm, and a large cheek width of 142 mm.
